Many smokers continue to smoke simply because they feel that they need to. The general feeling is that if they were to stop smoking they’d end up feeling more down, less happy, more stressed out, and so on. While it is true that smoking releases dopamine that causes a mild euphoria and helps you to relax – the question that you should really be asking yourself is whether or not you need smoking in order to be able to feel happy and relax!

All around you on a daily basis you’re going to find non-smokers. Do these people seem like they’re enjoying life any less than you are? Do they seem to be enjoying themselves less because they aren’t smoking? Do they seem more stressed out? What you should see is that all those people around you who don’t smoke are exactly like you are – and they go through the exact same things that you do, with the only difference being that they don’t immerse themselves in clouds and clouds of smoke!

This should tell you one thing in particular, and that is that while you may very well have grown dependent on cigarettes, the truth is that you don’t need it at all. It might seem like you do now, and initially when you quit you’re undoubtedly going to want to go back to the same old habits that you’d developed over time – but there really is no need to do so. If you had never started smoking in the first place, you’d be just as happy, sad, or stressed out as you are right now.

From the start of your life, right up to the point where you did start smoking, you managed to cope well without cigarettes. What makes you think that you need to smoke otherwise you would not be able to cope from this point on? When exactly did you start feeling that way? Chances are, you probably don’t even remember the exact point when you became dependent on smoking – but that really doesn’t matter.

Nowadays, there are an increasing number of people who actually have smoked in the past, and now live completely smoke-free lives. They have found that they don’t need to smoke in other to be happy and relax – so what makes you any different? The truth is, you are exactly where these people were at some point or other, and the fact that they’ve managed to kick the habit completely should show you that it certainly is possible, and that smoking definitely isn’t something that you ‘need’ by any means.

All things said and done, smoking is a habit that is dangerous – and it will probably end up killing you if you don’t quit at some point or other. Now that you know that there’s really no justification for thinking that you ‘need’ to smoke, it is up to you to take the next step, and firmly decide to kick your unwanted habit!

Have you ever tried to go cold turkey in the past? At some point or other, smokers who have tried to quit generally try this method – but most of them don’t really make it past the very first hurdle. That has led to a lot of people questioning whether or not going cold turkey is really all that effective at all, and has also led to many people preferring to just ‘cut down slowly’ rather than stop all at once!

Here’s the truth: Going cold turkey is by far the most effective way to quit smoking.

Unfortunately, despite the being the case it is also not easy to pull it off – as is evidenced by the many people who have tried and failed. Still, you’ll find that going cold turkey is going to give you a far better chance at actually kicking your smoking habit completely, and it is certainly going to give you a much better chance than if you were to cut down gradually.

Frankly speaking, the main hurdle that there is to quitting smoking has got to be the cravings. These cravings are a result of nicotine, and the fact that your body wants you to keep its nicotine content at a certain level since you’ve practically trained yourself to do so by smoking regularly. If you were to consciously cut down on your smoking, you’d be reducing the level of nicotine that your body is used to having – and this may seem like a good thing. But the fact of the matter is that you’re still going to have cravings, and if you aren’t careful those cravings will become stronger in time!

On the other hand, going cold turkey will mean that you literally have to rely on your determination and willpower to get you through the cravings, but once your body has rid itself of all nicotine – you should have no further cravings. If you do, it is more going to be because of the habit rather than actual nicotine cravings, and while breaking a habit isn’t easy – it is a lot easier than fighting cravings. Sadly, the reason why going cold turkey often doesn’t work is because powering through those initial cravings is tough, and many people ‘give in’ and have ‘one last cigarette’ here and there.

This is not what going cold turkey is all about, and if you fall into that trap then you’re bound to fail!

All things said and done, going cold turkey is without a doubt an effective way to quit smoking. However, different people find that they respond differently to different methods, and that is why it might not be exactly the right solution for you. If you happen to be highly motivated, and totally determined to kick smoking – go cold turkey. If not, it might be best to try some other alternative.

Of late, one of the newest methods of helping people to stop smoking that has cropped up is hypnosis. In truth, hypnosis has been gaining a lot of popularity in a number of areas, including weight loss and stress management, so it isn’t too big of a leap to see why it would apply to smoking as well. Still, for the skeptics among us, there is bound to be a lot of misgivings as to whether or not hypnosis actually works, or whether it is just a hyped up method that is destined for failure.

The rise in hypnosis as a method of stopping smoking is in tandem with the development of a style of psychotherapy known as Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (NLP). Essentially, the line between hypnosis and NLP is very fine, and nowadays the two methods are used interchangeably or in tandem with one another in most programs.

Basically the idea that hypnosis or NLP can help to put a stop to smoking is an easy one and it revolves around the idea that smoking is a habit. So deep within our brain there is something that is causing us to crave nicotine, and desire to smoke. Because hypnosis and NLP both purportedly can influence the subconscious, it makes sense that they would be able to help to stop these cravings, and put an end to the desire to smoke. Needless to say, for any smoker this would be extremely helpful indeed.

But the question is – does it work?

Unfortunately, both hypnosis and NLP are embroiled in their fair share of controversy. Although mainstream psychotherapy generally does not acknowledge either, the fact of the matter is that the results they obtain are making them harder and harder to ignore. Studies have shown that both hypnosis and NLP can help to alter habits, including smoking – and this is supported by the numerous people who have undergone this form of program and claim that it has stopped their smoking entirely.

While there is still quite a bit of doubt about the authenticity of these methods, the fact that there are so many people out there who have experienced good results is certainly a great form of social proof. It may simply be that faith in the method itself is helping them to stop smoking – but even if that is the case, it is surely a good thing.

If you’re intent on quitting smoking and have found that the other methods that you’ve tried don’t really work for you – this could be the answer that you need!

More often than not you’re bound to have people tell you that all it takes for you to quit smoking is the right amount of willpower and determination. For years and years, this advice has been given to smokers who want to quit and the fact of the matter is that while it might work in some cases – it certainly does not work in others. In fact, in certain cases it actually makes things worse!

It should go without saying that willpower and determination are definitely valuable traits when it comes to trying to quit smoking. Right from the start, it is absolutely essential that you firmly decide to quit and stop smoking completely – and willpower and determination will definitely play a role in whether or not you actually manage to do so.

Also, from the point that you actually do quit, you’re going to find yourself facing the temptation to have ‘just one cigarette’ here and there – and once again willpower and determination could come to your rescue in such situations.

However, many people who try to quit find that they just don’t manage to do so. Although they know that they need to steel themselves and will their way through the temptations, the fact of the matter is that it really is easier said than done. If you’ve tried to quit in the past and failed, then you definitely know exactly how tough it is.

More importantly, once you’ve tried to quit on willpower and determination alone – if you fail then that says all sorts of lousy things about your willpower. Many people find themselves becoming disheartened, and some even give up on trying to quit entirely simply because they feel that they don’t have the right determination to do so. It is the classic problem of feeling that you’re ‘not good enough’, and it could hamper any further efforts that you put into quitting smoking as well!

So while you could possibly quit smoking on willpower and determination alone, the fact of the matter is that failing to do so could make things worse. And the bigger question is – why should you rely solely on your willpower and determination? Nowadays, there are so many aids that can help people to stop smoking, and they range from substitute nicotine solutions (such as patches) right on to psychological help and even hypnosis!

With so many resources available, why risk failing when you could embrace different approaches and improve your chances of success!
